Innovating approaches to STEM education
Education in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is key to social innovation and economic opportunity. This is true for students who become STEM professionals, and for all students who graduate in the 21st century. But literacy in STEM subjects is lagging, and skilled STEM students are in short supply. HP launched the Catalyst Initiative to get to the root causes of the challenge, and to explore the future of STEM education.

It's not enough for a teacher to be an expert in math or science. Instructors need to offer project-based experiences that help students understand how technical disciplines can be applied in creative ways to solve real social challenges. The long-term goals of this group are to prepare and retain more STEM teachers, enhance the STEM expertise of teachers and faculty, and improve student success in pursuing STEM degrees. This consortium is be led by Futurelab (UK).

me of the issues addressed by the summits include:
How do young people today produce media and interact and communicate with one another?
What are the core tools and services they use?
How can educators harness the attractiveness to young people of social networking, mobile phones, and informal virtual communication to meet basic educational objectives and extend learning?
How can new technologies reinvigorate learning for disaffected youth?
What are the best case studies that showcase digital media–based programs?
What are the best ways to begin the integration of digital media into the curriculum?
Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the Pearson Foundation, the Pearson Foundation/CCSSO International Conference on Education brings an international delegation of education leaders together each year to explore, firsthand, innovative approaches to a single, shared educational issue
The Pearson Foundation is proud to have been an early partner of the Jordan Education Initiative, an effort in which we took part at the request of the United States State Department’s Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI).

An initial set of filmspresent profiles of international education figures Stephen Heppell, Alan November, Elliot Soloway and Cathie Norris, and Yong Zhao.
This collection—which includes profiles of school innovators David “T.C.” Ellis, Jean Johnson, and Larry Rosenstock, as well as a profile of school architect Randall Fielding—explores collaborative, creative, multi-disciplinary approaches to engaging students.
A finial set of films address student-centered learning with a specific focus on the challenges of effectively supporting young people inside and outside the classroom.
The films’ subjects—Steve Barr, James Dierke, Doug McCurry, and George McKenna
Developed in partnership with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), “Strong Performers and Successful Reformers in Education” is an investigative video series documenting policies and programs that local education leaders credit with improving student achievement – success demonstrated by the strong performance of their countries in the latest assessment from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).
CoSN The Pearson Foundation is pleased to work together with The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) to create a series of public service announcements focused on the challenges and opportunities of integrating technology into teaching practice around the world. “Learning to Change/Changing to Learn” is a five-minute video that shares the views of an international panel of key educators and thought leaders. Together, their voices document the need for all educational stakeholders to develop contemporary classroom practices that incorporate technology to individualize and maximize student learning.Learning to Change/Changing to Learn
As Building a Grad Nation clearly explains, over the last decade educators, researchers, and administrators have made significant progress in articulating the dimensions and causes of the dropout problem. The research, produced by America's Promise Alliance, Civic Enterprises, and the Everyone Graduates Center of The Johns Hopkins University, documents the resulting progress in improving high school graduation rates – even in low-income urban and rural school districts.
